NGC 6946 The Fireworks Galaxy - telescope processed image. It earned its name by hosting 10 observed supernovae in the last century—far more than the Milky Way's average of one or two.

NGC 6946 The Fireworks Galaxy - unprocessed image. We see it through heavy interstellar dust from our own galaxy, which dims its light and adds a mysterious, reddened hue to its glow.

NGC 6946 The Fireworks Galaxy - telescope processed image. Since 1917, astronomers have observed 10 supernovae in this galaxy, a rate nearly 10 times higher than that of our own Milky Way.

NGC 6946 The Fireworks Galaxy - unprocessed image. It is classified as a starburst galaxy due to its exceptionally high rate of star formation, which provides the fuel for its frequent "fireworks."

Was able to get 3 successful observations off the s50 lat night. Starting out with #NGC6946 #TheFireworksGalaxy. #seestar #S50 #space #astronomy #amateur

NGC 6946 The Fireworks Galaxy - telescope processed image. NGC 6946 is a beautiful face-on spiral galaxy known as the "Fireworks Galaxy" for its incredibly high rate of supernovae (10 observed in the last century).

NGC 6946 The Fireworks Galaxy - unprocessed image. It's nicknamed the "Fireworks Galaxy" because it has a super high rate of supernovae (exploding stars), with ten observed in the last century.

Next up on the observation on the Odyssey Pro, here is #NGC6946 #TheFireworksGalaxy. #unistellar #odysseypro #space #astronomy #amateur

NGC 6946 The Fireworks Galaxy - telescope processed image. A stunning, face-on spiral galaxy located on the border of Cepheus/Cygnus. It's nicknamed the Fireworks Galaxy for its unusually high rate of supernova explosions (10 in the last century).

NGC 6946 The Fireworks Galaxy - unprocessed image. It earned the nickname "Fireworks Galaxy" by having an explosion 10 times more often than the Milky Way—with 10 observed supernovae in the last century.
